Chloe gave a faint smile, watching her quietly.
Jeanette blushed under her gaze for reasons she didn't understand. She blurted out, "I just thought it'd be a cool way to multitask. We could have a chat about solving issues while taking a bath."
After a moment, Chloe shook her head, "I don't need a bath. I just need a hot drink."
How would she explain this if a certain man asked her about it back home? Lie? That sharp guy would totally sniff it out!
Jeanette was a bit bummed, but she just nodded and headed upstairs.
Fifteen minutes later, Jeanette came downstairs in her casual clothes.
Chloe had already picked up all the paper scraps on the floor and placed them on the coffee table.
At that moment, the TV was showing a scene of Jeanette playing the piano while her mother was seriously ill. Her mother was sitting on the balcony in a wheelchair, basking in the sun.
Seeing her come down, Chloe pushed a cup of hot water towards her and pointed at the TV,
"I've heard that piano piece before."
Jeanette pursed her lips and looked at her mom lying quietly on the bed, listening to her play. Her expression was slightly sad.
